3D-Dynamic Navigation (3D-DN) Guided Bone Window Surgery represents a transformative approach in endodonticswhich enhances surgical precision and minimizes mishaps. Unlike traditional techniques, 3D-DN leverages real-time digital imaging and navigation systems, allowing clinicians to plan and execute highly accurate osteotomy and root end surgeries with precision. This technique employs a dynamic tracking system to monitor the surgical instrument’s position relative to pre-operative planning data, enabling precise guidance throughout the procedure.
Literature has indicated that the bone window technique, which preserves the cortical plate, has the potential to improve healing without need for extraneous grafting material. 3D-DN technology addresses these goals by reducing surgical time, enhancing visibility of anatomical landmarks, and minimizing bone removal. This table clinic will demonstrate the 3D-DN technique. It showcases key procedural steps, unique capabilities of dynamic tracking, and insights on accuracy and efficacy improvements over conventional methods. Additionally, we will discuss practical considerations, including equipment requirements, learning curve, and integration into clinical practice.
The adoption of 3D-DN Guided Bone Window Surgery holds potential for advancing endodontic surgical standards by achieving superior accuracy, enhancing efficiency, and promoting faster recovery. This innovative approach stands to benefit both practitioners and patients by refining endodontic procedures and setting a new benchmark in precision-guided surgery.
